Overview
Jake is a foul-mouthed, aggressive, ruthless, impulsive, hot-headed, and hostile individual who is more than willing to steal, murder, and rape. When the group first encounters him, he is seen arguing with another bandit. Jake loses his cool and kills the bandit, and proceeds to shoot his corpse multiple times, even though he is already dead. It's later revealed that he and his group had raped Jolene's daughter.
Later, when the Save-Lots bandits don't get their share of medical supplies from Ben, Jake and his group hold the entire group at gunpoint. Jake angrily yells about how the group stole from them, despite his group being the ones who were actually stealing. He is shown to be not completely unreasonable, as he is willing to make a deal with the group. However, he is shot before this can happen.
Pre-Apocalypse
Georgia, United States
Nothing is known about Jake's life prior to or as the outbreak began. He may have worked at the Save-Lots along with his fellow bandits.
Post-Apocalypse
Season One
Jake, along with his group of bandits, attacked Ben Paul, Travis, and David Parker's camp during the apocalypse, stealing and recovering supplies from the survivors. Ben catches a glimpse of them before he, Travis, and David flee from the camp.
"Starved For Help"
When Lee and the group of survivors witness Jake confronting another bandit about the issue of food, Ben immediately states that he recognizes them and says that they look like the ones who raided his camp. They hide in the bushes and witness the two bandits argue until Jake becomes enraged, causing him to open fire and shoot his accomplice multiple times, even though he was dead after the first shot. In anger, he walks away from his former "colleague's" corpse, calling him an "asshole".
He later attacked Mark and Lee on the dairy farm from the forest with Gary and two other bandits while the two were checking on the electric fence. He is later seen at the end of the episode in a recording on Jolene's camera with more unnamed bandits.
"Long Road Ahead"
Jake is seen assisting in the capture of the motor inn crew (Ben Paul, Kenny, Katjaa, Duck, Carley/Doug, and Clementine) and holding them at gunpoint with Linda, Gary, and Drew. Lee confronts them to draw their attention while Lilly sneaks upstairs with her sniper rifle. Once Lee gets the bandit to calm down (Determinant), Lilly shoots him in the head.
Apparently, Ben had worked out some sort of agreement with them to slip some of his group's medical supplies and place them in a grate for them outside the inn. Lee investigates the missing supplies problem and recovers them from the grate minutes before the gang of bandits attacks the Travelier Motel. The attack is presumably spurred by Lee removing the supplies.
Lee and Lilly kill most of the bandits holding their friends, although there were more hiding in the foliage outside the walls. They are given enough time to escape in the RV, although Katjaa splits her head open, and Duck is bitten by a walker.
